Explain how heat inside Earth causes plate tectonics:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Stells [14]4 years ago
3 0
While the crust of the Earth has been cooled down for millions of years, the inside is still hotter than the surface of the sun. The mantle that the tectonic plates are sitting on is constantly moving, causing the plates to move along with it. Basically the tectonic plates move around on the mantle like a beach ball does on water.

What hybridization is required for central atoms that have a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs? A trigo- nal planar arra
Reika [66]

Answer:

sp³;

sp²;

sp;

None;

One;

Two;

They're used to pi bonds.

Explanation:

The central atom in a molecule is generally the one that can make a greater number of bonds. The covalent bonds are made by the sharing of electrons, and, for that, the electron must be alone in the orbital.

To explain this, the hybridization theory was created, which states that, the orbitals are joined to form hybrids ones, and so, by the Hund's law, the electrons are alone in them.

The sigma bonds are done in the hybrids orbitals, and at the pure orbitals, the pi bonds are done. The lone pair of electrons are at a pure orbital. So, to know the hybridization of the central atom, we must know how many sigma bonds it does, and it will be the number of hybrids orbitals (each orbital may have two electrons, thus each bond are done in one orbital).

Double bonds and triple bonds have always only one sigma bond, so the number of sigma bonds is equal to the number of bonds, it's not necessary to know if they are simple, double or triple.

When the arrangement is tetrahedral, the central atom does 4 bonds, so it has 4 sigma bonds, and 4 hybrids orbitals (one of s and three for p), does its hybridization is sp³. Because exists only 3 p orbitals, there are no unhybridized p orbitals in this case.

When the arrangement is trigonal, the central atom does 3 bonds, so it has 3 hybrids orbitals (one of s and two of p), thus the hybridization is sp². So there are one unhybridized p orbitals.

When the arrangement is linear, the central atom does 2 bonds, so it has 2 hybrids orbitals (one of s and one of p), thus the hybridization is sp. So, there are two unhybridized p atoms.

As stated before, the unhybridized p orbitals are used to pi bonds.

Give the meaning of each of the following symbols when used in a chemical equation.
nlexa [21]

Reaction arrows are used to describe the state or progress of a reaction. 2.1 The Chemical Reaction Arrow. The chemical reaction arrow is one straight arrow pointing from reactant(s) to product(s) and by-products, sometimes along with side products. A → B. It is the most widely used arrow.

Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar System and in the Earth's crust

The C5 (C5) fraction is a co-product of naphtha cracking and is used as a raw material for synthetic rubber and petroleum resins.

Deuterium

Deuterium is frequently represented by the chemical symbol D. Since it is an isotope of hydrogen with mass number 2, it is also represented by 2. H. .

Unimolecular Elimination (E1) is a reaction in which the removal of an HX substituent results in the formation of a double bond. It is similar to a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN1) in various ways. One being the formation of a carbocation intermediate.

Aqueous (aq.): In the presence of water, often meaning water is the solvent. Aqueous NaCl. Anhydrous NaCl.

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. ... Since hydrogen readily forms covalent compounds with most nonmetallic elements, most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water or organic compounds.

Catalyst, in chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed. Enzymes are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many essential biochemical reactions.

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is a unitless number, although it relates the pressures.

Hope this helps a bit?

The rate of decomposition of acetaldehyde, CH_3 CHO(g), into CH_4(g) and CO(g) in the presence of I_2(g) at 800 K follows the ra
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Catalyst is I2 . Because I2 is reacted with starting material in step 1 and generated in second step

Rate limiting step is step 1. Because in rate equation CH3CHO and I2 is mentioned. Hence the overall rate of reaction is depending CH3CHO and I2. Rate limiting step is step 1
